Probably would like to go in to there, but would most likely be wanting plenty of room to expand. Expect that to be an issue at the moment. Might make a south coast base more appealing, but that’s...

Different engines and way of operating. May not see the Jet2 A321 at LBA (just IMO) but certainly the A320 if/when they arrive.
